Video: Alamo Drafthouse bans Madonna for life for texting during movie

Apparently Austin-based movie chain Alamo Drafthouse doesn’t make any exceptions to their No Texting policy — not even for global superstars.According to a facebook post by film critic Charles Taylor, Madonna was at a New York premiere for the film 12 Years of Slavery at an Alamo Drafthouse last week and spent so much time texting on her phone that a fellow moviegoer asked her to stop. Madonna turned to the woman and hissed, “It’s for business… ENSLAVER!”

When Alamo Drafthouse CEO Tim League heard the story, he tweeted: “Until she apologizes to movie fans, Madonna is banned from watching movies @drafthouse,” living up to his much-applauded promise that texters are not welcome in his chain of theaters.

According to Deadline Hollywood, League added “It’s been my long stated position that it’s inappropriate in any movie, let alone in a premiere type setting – and especially from someone in the business. We actually did send a memo to all of our theaters letting them know that if she comes in to let her know she’ll need to apologize and please change her ways.” You can read the memo here.

What do you think, should Madonna and texters like her be banned from movie theaters?
